I am really satisfied with Elena's professional approach. Her support, counseling and commitment were on a very high level through the whole process of gathering documents and visa application.
Future Option met all our expectations. My husband and I were not sure whether it would be possible to get a student visa. However, they made every effort to ensure that all documents were in the best order. Even now, when we got the visa, Future Option team provides us support and is available for all the questions we have. Best recommendations for this agency!
Elena is a wonderful person who was patently answering on all questions and who was not giving false hope. She was always positive and trustworthy.
Elena helped us to fulfill our dreams so I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of studying and living in Australia. She was extremely professional during the whole procedure and visa application so it was my pleasure to work with her.
Last year Elena helped me to enroll the University of the Queensland, she was so responsible person and helped me with the whole procedure.
Very professional, quick in processing all documents, available on the phone and via email at any time, responsive and pleasant to work with!
